Shady stuff.
https://hotair.com/david-strom/2023/07/14/why-did-trump-superpac-secretly-pay-melania-155000-in-2021-n564535There is nothing illegal about this, apparently, but Trump SuperPAC Make America Great Again, Again (which ceased operations and transferred its remaining funds to Make America Great Again, Inc.), paid Melania Trump $155,000 in late 2021 for a speaking engagement.
It hid the payments to Mrs. Trump as two separate payments to a corporation, which then transferred the money to Melania Trump. The payments came to light this year in a federal filing for Trump’s campaign yesterday.
This is probably not what donors to the group would have expected would be done with their contributions. I don’t know about you, but I would neither expect a billionaire to be seeking donations to fund his lifestyle nor would I expect the wife of a candidate to charge $155,000 to give a speech to supporters of her husband.
But that’s just me, I guess. I wouldn’t buy NFTs of the candidate appearing as a superhero either, but somebody did.
I hope they didn’t pay $155,000 for any of them. I don’t think that is a price the resale market can bear.
EXCERPT
Ties in with the discussion the other day about why Trump wants or needs donations.
